About This Service

Your Home, Your Life

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides funded support for participants who live in shared or individual accommodation and require assistance with daily tasks, personal care, and home management — while maintaining maximum independence and choice.

Our SIL model is built around you. We work with you and your family to find the right home, the right housemates (if applicable), and the right level of support so that you can genuinely live the life you choose.

What's Included

SIL Support Options

Shared Supported Accommodation

Live with compatible housemates in a staffed home, sharing support costs while maintaining your own bedroom, privacy, and daily routine.

Individual Arrangements

Live alone in your own home with scheduled support visits — morning routines, evening wind-down, and any other assistance you need.

24-Hour Rostered Support

Around-the-clock staffing for participants with complex support needs, including active overnight support and emergency response.

Skill Building

Support focused on developing independence skills — cooking, budgeting, home maintenance, self-care — so you can do more for yourself over time.

Home & Garden Maintenance

Assistance with keeping your home clean, safe, and comfortable — including minor repairs, garden care, and home organisation.

Community Connection

Support to maintain relationships, access the community, and stay connected with family, friends, and the activities you love.

NDIS Funding

How SIL is Funded

SIL is funded under the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan (Assistance with Daily Life, 01). The NDIA separately funds SIL through a special quote process.

  • Requires a separate SIL funding quote from the NDIA
  • NCS Care assists with the SIL quote process end-to-end
  • Pricing is based on your individual support needs and ratios
  • Separate to your home / tenancy costs (rent is not covered by SIL)
  • Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) may fund the property separately
  • We work with Support Coordinators to get the right outcome for you

FAQs

Common Questions

Where possible, yes. We work hard to match compatible housemates with similar lifestyles, interests, and support needs to create a harmonious home environment.
If you already have suitable housing, SIL funding can support you where you live. If you need to find a new property, our team can assist with that process too.
SIL funds the support workers and in-home assistance. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is a separate NDIS funding category that covers the cost of the physical property for eligible participants with extreme functional impairment.
It varies, but typically 4-12 weeks from initial enquiry to moving in — depending on your NDIS plan status, property availability, and how quickly the SIL quote is approved by the NDIA.
